Soft Crusty Garlic Tuscan Bread (Copycat Wegmans) - High Hydration No Knead Recipe for Beginners

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is a faithful copycat of Wegmans' Garlic Tuscan Bread, which is super soft and moist underneath a crusty exterior. The recipe is derived based on the order of ingredients on the nutritional label, to replicate the effect of the store bought product.
For consistency and ease of replicating, this is a no-knead recipe with tips for handling sticky high hydration dough, along with my ratings on commercial additives such as diastic malt, ascorbic acid, soy lecithin etc.

Diastic Malt: amzn.to/3KeOKMd
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): amzn.to/415ydBo
Amylase Enzyme: amzn.to/3ZLtwvo
Soy Lecithin: amzn.to/3zAB2yA
Ingredients:
180g bread flour (or 200g all purpose)
20g durum wheat flour (semolina)
160g water
1/2 tsp sea salt (~2.5g)
1/4 tsp yeast (~1.2g)
1/8 tsp amylase enzyme powder (~0.5g)
1/8 tsp ascorbic acid (vitamin c) (~0.5g)
1/8 tsp diastic malt powder (~0.5g)
1/8 tsp soy lecithin (~0.5g)
garlic oil for topping
*small amount (under ~5g/~1tsp) of ingredients are easier measured in teaspoons than on ordinary kitchen scales - you'll want a precision scale (the kind for spice or jewelry) to measure really small quantities.

Bakerpedia (bakerpedia.com) is a great source to learn about everything bread-related. Search its wiki for any ingredient to learn more about the chemistry and effects!
The Chain Baker is a hardcore baking channel that has a lot of very informative experiments, for detailed comparisons refer to his videos on:
Soy lecithin: • This is How Lecithin A...
Vitamin c: • This is How Vitamin C ...
Skilled baker considers these dough improvers "cheats" - but nonetheless effective in making a difference.

    Thank you for this amazing recipe. I've made it several times. My first time trying it, I did not have the additives. I invested in them and they are so worth it. Thank you again.

    Thank you for actually trying out the recipe! I'm always tempted to skip unusual ingredients too; having baked both ways the effects are so noticeable and so newbie friendly, I keep using them now! 🥰

    @@workdaygourmet same! I hadn't baked bread in a while, but thanks to your recipe & video, my passion has been re-ignited 🔥 I must thank you for this, and also for referencing the bakerspedia website. I've been learning so much about bread things lol. It's really cool being able to add the unusual ingredients as add ins to other recipes I have made in the past. This past Thanksgiving I made this Tuscan bread for my family and for Christmas I plan to as well 🥰

    @@stephaniegallik5350 The best part is, everyone thinks it takes skills/effort 🤭I've been using amylase in home-brew and oat milk, and soy lecithin is great for eggless ice cream - definitely lots of ways to go through them!

    Awesome recipe - I plan to try this! Is this a sourdough bread?

    You can add a sourdough starter to this; as is this doesn't contain any sourdough starter, the flavor is closer to bread made with poolish or biga preferment - which are similar to sourdough starter in mechanism, but uses controlled commercial yeast rather than wild yeast.

    First time someone have given a break down on how to make a proper tasting bread that is fluffy. I can't wait to buy it. I've wasted so much flour making hard bread and I can't stand.

    This should yield a soft crumb after cooling - just don't save it for too long, homemade bread is best finished in 2~3 days, or they start to harden when starch retrogrades. (15 sec microwave can soften somewhat-old bread quickly & easily, but not a long term solution as they'll harden again once cooled)
